Hoar characterized Harris statement
as extraordinary, and appealed to the
Senate. The report being read IN fuu,
Hoar moved that the Senate disagree 10
tbe report, and insist on its former
action, and request still further confer
C1ilom claimed that his motion to
agree II he report took precedence OF
the motion to disagree. s.t.,
Harris, one of the conferees, desired
averv Senator TO realize the fact that
when he voted on the question OF agree
ing 10 this report, he was voting in
effect on the question as to whether
there should be any legislation on the
subject during this Congress. The
Senate was not to submit to that kind
of threat. Here was a bill, which en-
bodied four great salutary propositions
on which the Senate, the House of Re
representatives. and the American people
we're substantially agreed, and the SEN
ate was now told that none OF these
things should be accomplished unless
there was engrafted on the bill what
was departure from the great doctrine
of reasOnableness unless there was en- =
grated a principle against which Gus
toners and not railroads interested in
the carrying of trade we're protesting on
the ground that the inevitable effect OF
il would be to put up freights and to
make large branches Of business now
carving on successfully and preftably
impossible in the future.
George ADVOCATED the adoption of the
report. He said he had no doubt that the
effect of the legislation would be to in
crease freight rates temporarily, not be-
cause that was the legitimate result OF
it, but because the railroad companies
could make it the occasion of unneces
sarily and unjustly raising rates in or
der 10 bring the measure into dISrepute.
The bill, EVarts said, had been prop
erlv designated, IAN act to regulate
commerce to regulate inter-Stats
commerce. He denounced the bill as
NfA,,o1 y,+tarlr- lpI ~,
the Federal government Jurisdiction
over the subject of commerce. The
Constitution was framed to form a
more perfect union, to establish justice,
to ensure domestic tranquility" but
one fault Of the bill would bein its
tendencies to make the union less per
lect 10 disestsblish justice. TO ensure
domestic disco-d Outside of The
fourth and fifth sections, the bill was in
the dire Cton Of the regulation of COM

sphere OF law-making, but these sec
lions werea departure from law-making.
IL Was an attempt TO lay down rules

y. commerce for the purpose of exer-
C1>ilS the construction on railroads
would be the Sheerest folly in the world
!. was IN the interest of railroads that
commerce should be developed, not re-
strained; that is, the yOlume'could be
,c'O' easei and its freedom unhampered.
